Beidaihe is a solid parkland, so if you do not get anywhere, you will not lose anything.

A separate attraction in Beidaihe are parks. There they can count a dozen different, if not more. Most of them are within walking distance or a couple of minutes by bus, and some will have to travel. We went around several that were near.

🌸 Park of lanterns. The best and original in my opinion. The topic is clear from the title - everything that is connected with flashlights and illuminations. Glowing flowers, mazes among the sparkling trees, light shows, backlit ponds (as if from a fairy tale), there is even a castle labyrinth in which it is necessary to search for entrances / exits. It is worth such entertainment is inexpensive, and you can walk though all evening. We generally got on some kind of action, so all the attractions were free. It was worth taking pictures of all this splendor on the phone, but no camera would have given it.

🌸 Olympic Park. In honor of what is created, I do not need to explain, I think. In the park, a lot of sculptures dedicated to the Olympic theme, there is even a sports field. In the park, our Russian aunts and grannies walk, who pretend that they see in these sculptures something incredibly aesthetic (giving this importance as works of the Renaissance). In my opinion, there is nothing to watch in the park, because after the park of lanterns - it was just a boring sight. However, it's free, so you will not lose anything. The only feature of this park is a huge multi-colored fountain that starts to work with music at 8 pm. It is better to approach in advance, because there are a lot of people, and I want to see more closely. The park from the center is far away, went there for a long time, because not immediately caught up, where to get on the bus.

🌸 Rose Park. A small area with beautiful flowers 😻 Is also not close.

🌸 Park near the shopping street Shitanlu. Not all Chinese names are spoken out, but I will always remember the shopping street. 😂 The park was between our hotel and Russian cafes, so we saved ourselves from the heat in the daytime 😂

🌸 Tiger Stone Park. This is the central beach. The meaning of the park, probably, lies in the fact that the beach is fenced and for the entrance money is being taken. In general, the Chinese are ready to take money from you on every little thing, and this park is a good example. However, the people that the cashier that the entrance is constantly a crowd 🙈 But! Attention, you pay only for the entrance. But if you want to sit on a deckchair, and even under an umbrella? Then you need to tear off a whole heart from the heart. The zest of the park is a pair of huge pebbles in the water - there will be enough time for playing (and that early in the morning, until a crowd of Chinese people came running, not just taking a picture on the background of the sea, but also taking pictures with you).

In general, Beidaihe itself is a continuous park area, so if you do not get anywhere, you will not lose anything.

nelumbo nucifera

One of the largest and most beautiful representatives of the coastal flora. He prefers ponds with stagnant water and rivers with a small current. In favorable conditions the lotus forms extensive thickets. During flowering, huge pink flowers rise to a height of two meters above the water and against a background of wide bright green leaves are an unforgettable sight.

The flower is semi-double, large, on a high peduncle. The color varies from white to bright - scarlet. The shape resembles a water lily, but the petals are broader and less acute.When the flower is fully open, the pestle opens, has a flat shape. Around it are stamens with large yellow anthers. It has a pleasant scent. At night, the flower closes.One flower forms several large seeds with a dense membrane, which, when the fetus ripens, can protect the embryo of the plant from drying out and lowering the temperature. Germination lasts for decades.It is listed in the Red Book of Russia (category - rare species).
